Harvest & Curing Drying in a brown bag

[A John In Nj]

Nevermind, I have learned that it is the Chlorophyll in the buds and it was my mistake, It is more of a grass smell.

I know now that it is normal... phew!

Alright so time to start learning about the drying and curing conditions in my tent with the lights out are about 60% humidity and in the mid 60° range last I had my gages in there

Trying to decide if I wanna chop at the base or do the paper bag any advice anyone?

Iv done paper bags most grows, but the best bud iv had has been from a long slow dry, fully hanging and then trim later in bags and cure.

Would you say that hang drying and putting my dehumidifier in my tent would be the best way to go?

 

[User K]

60% humidity is spot on. You would probably do 2 weeks.
That's just how I like doing it, this time I'm going to give a long slow 2 week dry, and the a week in the bags and then cure.

Alright I'm just really worried about mold and drying to fast so yeah lol thus is my first time too so

Im still confused. Are we taking off fan leaves and drying then trimming and putting in the bag or are we trimming wet then potting the wet buds in the bags?

 

[MisterHarpy]

Rasta I think that's up to each preference takeoff fan leaves for sure. But some people prefer to trim while wet some like to trim while dry it's personal preference

I have 3 brown bags with a good amount in each would one want to open the bags once or twice a day for good air exchange or should I leave them closed?

I never tried paperbags. I have read of it but never tried myself. This thread convinced me to try it out. Thank you all
